I cannot be the only paranoid chick in the universe. Have you ever been walking somewhere, and your internal monologue kicks in to VERY high gear and starts narrating some really scary shit?

On our trip last month, I had to get ice to keep the kids milk and smoothies cold. It was dark, cold, and the ice machine was outside. As I was walking down the stairs, all I could suddenly see was a flash of Grissom and hear a voice say, "Yeah, she went to get ice and never made it back."

Holy fuck.

I do not normally scare myself like that, but holy shit did that give me the chills. Needless to say, I probably looked like the chick from The Exorcist with my head spinning in every direction trying to make sure no one was going to jump out at me. And I got my ass back to the room immediately.

Maybe it was my intuition telling me to be careful. Maybe I am just a nutjob. Or just maybe there really was someone thinking bad thoughts as I walked by and someone else was looking out for me. I don't know, but the voice was loud. And I listened. And I will send my husband the next time. Anyone else have any creepy CSI moments?

I have had them. My latest one was just this morning. I turned to go a different way to a friend's house. I just turned. And as I was going down the new way, I thought to myself, "There's something bad happening the regular way." No reason to think that. None at all. But wasn't no way, no how I was going to go back to the regular way to see if I was right. I just trust those voices in my head which cause me goosebumps. And by "voices," I don't mean crazy voices. Although...

There is a lot of stupidity in this world, and I have about had enough. I have a lot to say and in all fairness to those who know and love me, I am putting it all right here. I have another blog that is just for my regular family and friends. Pictures of the kids, sweet little paragraphs detailing their activities and the like. THIS blog is for me. Not my kids, not my parents. This is where we get to the meat of the matter. I am tired of smiling in the face of people and thinking WHAT THE FUCK? I know that I do not think or believe the way many of the sheep out there seem to. This blog proves it.

Gears and Cogs

Our Attempts At A Green Lifestyle:

We try to use cloth napkins or kitchen towels instead of paper towels when we clean up

I switched to a smaller coffee maker. There is less wasted coffee, there is a shorter brew time, and it therefore uses less engergy

We attempt to grow plants

I use a menstrual cup. Safer for me, cleaner for the environment

We get lots of hand-me-down toys and clothes and we pass everything along

We use FreeCycle and shop at thrift shops

I breastfed each child

My husband walks to work when he can

Instead of clay litter, we use cat sand made from wheat. Also from pine. In a happy accident, we found that by combining the two, we get better clumpage, less smell, and do not worry if the kids end up with a little in their mouths

We unplug other appliances like coffee makers, etc.

We have our media on the wall switch and turn it off at night. That makes SEVEN appliances that are turned off--not just on standby
